You have preshot/midshot backwards.

Preshot: Snapshot, Rapid Shot
Midshot: R.Acc, STP, Crit. Rate % / Crit. Damage+, R.Att, Recycle/Etc

But the armor , does it look ok where it is ?

I do have Recycle / Store TP / Rng.ACC+ on Mid-shot

But not sure I want Rapid Shot on Pre-shot (Doesn't that make me shoot on "Preshot" set ?) from what I understood :}

Snapshot = makes less delay on Range Attack
Rapid Shot = Instant Shoot (with w/e set you are currently using)

That is my understanding on how those 2 work.

Please correct me and clear up any misconceptions I got.

I want to be able to be better than what I am now.

and to teach others in my shell as well of what I have learned.

You have a lot of (unnecessary) R.Acc pieces in your preshot that could be replaced with stuff that could actually allow you shoot faster, like this pretty easy to obtain set:

ItemSet 349167
Pursuer's and Carmine Path D

There's a few pieces that are better (like AF+3 legs, HQ Carmine, Herculean head w/ snapshot +6) if you want to try for them, too. Haverton is optional, of course.

The snapshot cap is 70%. Not sure myself if COR is able to reach it with just gear + the 10% gifts. Might still need Flurry I.

If you're using vanilla FFXI macros, then yeah, populate the rest of your precast with R.Acc/STP if you're scared about rapid shot proc'ing. The set I posted above only loads on +10 rapid shot, assuming you're path C on Adhemar.

FYI, rapid shot does nothing if you put it in midcast.

If you use vanilla macros/itemsets, then yes, having Rapid Shot in your Preshot build can make you shoot in it. But, using Gearswap, it changes your gear fast enough so that it is not an issue. Similar to having Quick Magic proc, and Gearswap being able to have your midcast set on instead of your precast.

Also important to point out that Rapid Shot isn't really instant... it's some significant randomized reduction. Chances are you won't always be caught in preshot when it procs, even with vanilla macros.

Also I suggest if you have the time/gil that Taeon can each get 10 (5 from each type) snapshot too, normally this means just the head as worth getting, but hey if your lacking in other slotts and want.....

The posted set from Arislan is spot on though for whats cheap and quick. Its what I use -ring (I cant give up 18% mov on other jobs)

Bit of a necro bump, but I've been working on my snapshot set so I thought I'd share what I believe is bis at the moment.

ItemSet 351002

Herc helm - 6 (might be able to hit higher with DM)
Pursuer's - path d for 6
Camulus's - 10

Ignoring the ring, this gives 69% (potentially more with DM aug) for master COR without wasting your ring option.

Well ***. I guess the whole double taeon thing Aza said was lost on me. That's definitely a more thorough analysis of options. Thank you.

Good thing I updated stuff with Meg. Jam +2 a few days ago.

There definetly is a barrier tho between tossing millions worth of Stones at Taeon to max Rapid Shot gains and a normal economy Snapshot set that still works out just fine usually.
